Promotion
Events surrounding the album's release and promotion marked a significant crisis in Menudo's history. In November 1990, Gonzalez and Gómez were detained at Miami Airport for marijuana possession and were expelled from the group a few days before the album's release on December 1.[4][5] Management quickly replaced both with Edward Aguilera and Jonathan Montenegro, forming a new lineup composed of Robert, Rawy, Adrian, Edward, and Jonathan.[6]
Months later, on April 6, 1991, another crisis unfolded: Avellanet, Torres, Aguilera, and Montenegro announced their departure from the group due to physical, psychological, and emotional abuse.[7][8] Although Edgardo Díaz, Menudo's manager, denied the allegations, management decided to replace them with new members: Alexis Grullón, Abel Talamántez, Andy Blázquez, and Ashley Ruiz, in an attempt to stabilize the group.[9]
